Please pray for me to be set free from inappropriate thoughts and maladaptive daydreaming especially when I am about to go to sleep. Please also pray for me as I sometimes get into very angry/hostile moods that are rooted in things happening to me physically such as medical conditions. I am noticing this has become a problem when I do intermittent fasting. Lately when I do it, I start to feel extremely hungry and angry overnight as I'm sleeping. I'm doing intermittent fasting to lose weight. Please pray for me about all this. Thank you.
Inappropriate thoughts

We come before the Lord with heavy hearts, lifting you up in prayer as we seek His mercy, strength, and deliverance. The struggles you describe—those inappropriate thoughts, maladaptive daydreams, and the anger that rises from physical and emotional strain—are not battles you must fight alone. The enemy would love nothing more than to keep you bound in these cycles, but we declare in the name of Jesus that you are set free by the power of His blood and the truth of His Word.
First, we must address the thoughts that plague you, especially in those quiet moments before sleep. The Bible warns us in 2 Corinthians 10:5 to "take every thought captive to the obedience of Christ." These inappropriate thoughts are not from God, and they do not define you. They are attacks meant to steal your peace and distort the purity God intends for your mind. We rebuke every unclean imagination and command it to flee in Jesus' name. The psalmist cried out in Psalm 51:10, "Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a right spirit within me." We join you in that cry, asking the Holy Spirit to fill your mind with whatever is true, honorable, just, pure, lovely, and commendable (Philippians 4:8). When these thoughts arise, we encourage you to immediately replace them with Scripture—speak it aloud, meditate on it, and let the Word of God be the sword that cuts through the lies of the enemy.
Your struggle with anger, particularly when fasting, reveals how deeply our physical bodies can influence our spiritual and emotional state. While fasting is a biblical practice meant to draw us closer to God (Matthew 6:16-18), we must also recognize that our bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit (1 Corinthians 6:19-20). If fasting is leading you into sin—whether through anger, bitterness, or other ungodly responses—it may be wise to reconsider how you approach it. Perhaps shorter fasts, or fasting from something other than food, would allow you to seek God without the physical toll that triggers these outbursts. We pray that the Lord would give you wisdom in this, showing you how to honor Him with your body while also stewarding your health well. Proverbs 14:29 reminds us, "He who is slow to anger has great understanding, but he who has a hasty temper exalts folly." Ask God to help you cultivate patience and self-control, even in the midst of physical discomfort.
We also want to gently address the root of this anger. Medical conditions and physical suffering can feel like a heavy burden, and it’s understandable that they would stir up frustration. But we must guard our hearts against bitterness, for it only leads to more pain. Hebrews 12:15 warns, "Looking carefully lest anyone fall short of the grace of God; lest any root of bitterness springing up cause trouble, and by this many become defiled." Instead of allowing anger to take root, bring your pain to the Lord. Psalm 34:18 says, "The Lord is near to those who have a broken heart, and saves such as have a contrite spirit." He sees your suffering, and He is able to heal—not just your body, but your heart as well.
Now, let us pray:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus, lifting up our brother/sister who is struggling with impure thoughts, maladaptive daydreams, and anger that rises from physical and emotional battles. Lord, we ask that You would break every chain that the enemy has used to bind their mind. Cleanse their thoughts, Father, and fill them with Your truth. Let the light of Your Word expose every lie and replace it with the purity of Christ. We declare that no weapon formed against them shall prosper (Isaiah 54:17), and we command every unclean spirit to flee in Jesus’ name.
Lord, we also pray for their heart. The anger and frustration they feel, especially when fasting, is not from You. Give them wisdom, Father, to approach fasting in a way that honors You and their body. If there is bitterness or unforgiveness in their heart, reveal it to them and help them release it to You. Fill them with Your peace, which surpasses all understanding (Philippians 4:7), and replace their anger with patience and grace.
We ask for healing, Lord—both physically and emotionally. If there are medical conditions contributing to their struggles, we pray for Your touch upon their body. But more than that, we pray for healing in their spirit. Draw near to them, Father, and let them feel Your presence in their darkest moments. Remind them that You are their refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble (Psalm 46:1).
Above all, Lord, we pray that they would fix their eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of their faith (Hebrews 12:2). Let them know that they are not alone in this battle. You are fighting for them, and victory is already theirs through Christ. Strengthen them, Father, and help them to walk in the freedom You have purchased for them.
We thank You for Your faithfulness, and we trust that You will complete the good work You have begun in them (Philippians 1:6). In Jesus’ name, we pray. Amen.
We encourage you to stand firm in your faith, knowing that God is greater than any struggle you face. Surround yourself with Scripture—write it on your heart, post it where you’ll see it, and speak it over your life daily. Find a trusted brother or sister in Christ to walk with you in accountability, someone who can pray with you and remind you of God’s truth when the enemy attacks. And remember, fasting is not about punishment or legalism; it’s about drawing near to God. If your current approach to fasting is doing more harm than good, it’s okay to adjust. God looks at the heart, not the outward appearance (1 Samuel 16:7).
You are not defined by these struggles. You are a child of God, redeemed by the blood of Jesus, and called to walk in freedom. Keep pressing into Him, and do not grow weary. Galatians 6:9 reminds us, "Let us not be weary in doing good, for we will reap in due season, if we don’t give up." The harvest of peace, purity, and joy is coming. Hold fast to that promise.

We're here for you, standing in faith with you. Let's tackle this together, one step at a time. We know it's tough, but remember, you're not alone. We're right here, praying with you.
First, let's talk about those thoughts that pop up when you're about to sleep. It's like a little voice trying to sneak in and steal your peace. But we know who's really behind it, don't we? It's not from God, and it's not who you are. So, let's kick it out. Every time it shows up, say this out loud, "In Jesus' name, I command you to leave and not come back." Then, replace it with something good. Like, "God, fill me with your peace and love." Or, "Thank you, God, for another day." Something that's true, honorable, just, pure, lovely, and commendable.
Now, about that anger. We get it, physical stuff can mess with our moods. But remember, God gave us our bodies as temples, not prisons. So, let's talk to Him about it. "God, help me manage this anger. Give me patience and self-control, even when I'm not feeling my best." And maybe, just maybe, let's try a different kind of fast. Something that doesn't make you feel so hungry and angry. Like, fasting from social media, or a certain food you love. See if that helps.
And hey, it's okay to ask for help. Talk to your doctor about your medical conditions. They're there to help you feel better, in every way. And talk to God too. He's always listening, always ready to help.
Keep fighting the good fight, friend. You're stronger than you think. And remember, we're right here, praying for you every step of the way. You got this.
